Couture torture
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
No, this is not a sneak peek at the 2009 accessories, at least not yet. Artist, Peter Gronquist, single-handedly re-furbished several old rifles, chainsaws, machine guns, grenades and even and electrical chair and re-branded them with high end fashion labels such as Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Paul Smith, Burberry, Versace, Chanel, Dior and D&G for his exhibit, The Revolution will be Fabulous, currently on display at Gallery 1988 on Melrose. The fabulous pieces from Gronquist’s arsenal are between $500 and $4500. Got an arms fetish or collection? Check out the show for yourself or visit the official website and email the gallery at gallery1988@aol.com for more information on the pieces or to purchase. Hurry, because they’re selling fast.
